Great find, great story. That's pretty much the only bike I still covet. And to me, that is the ultimate Cinelli SC color - not the only one I like or would gladly accept, mind you, just the top of the heap IMHO. And while I will admit to a slight twinge of envy, it always makes me happy to learn that a bike of that magnitude (for lack of a better word) finds its way to someone who appreciates it for the wonderful piece of functional art that it is.

BTW, cyclomondo currently has replacement Fiamme rim labels up on eBay for $10 BIN - http://www.ebay.com/itm/Fiamme-rim-d...item45f47bdb0f. He has five designs form which to choose; from what I can see from the photos, option B or C are the rights ones for your rims, with B looking to be closer to the disintegrating originals. Obviously, your on-the-spot eye can tell more than I can.
